How Cats Can Transmit Infection

Rocky Mountain spotted fever is spread by the American dog tick, the lone-star tick, and the wood tick, all of which like to live in wooded areas and tall, grassy fields. The disease is most common in the spring and summer when these ticks are active, but it can occur anytime during the year when the weather is warm. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is found throughout the United States, except in Maine, Alaska, and Hawaii. Most cases occur in the southeastern United States. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is treatable with antibiotics. Without treatment, the disease can be fatal
